Target audiences

An organisation’s target audiences derive from its core business and operational objectives.

CERN is mandated by the CERN Convention to provide information for and regularly update the high-energy physics community and the Member States on its activities.

Although not officially mandated to communicate with other groups, it is undoubtedly in CERN’s interests to communicate and engage with a range of different audiences that are vitally important for CERN to achieve its mission.

Several of these audiences are also stakeholders in CERN’s activities; that is, they directly contribute to CERN’s present and future (Member States and the CERN community are two examples of stakeholders).
